President Trump on Tuesday morning once again called the far-left judge presiding over Stormy Daniel’s “silence” trial.
New York Judge Juan Merchan imposed a strict gag order that prevented Trump from criticizing his family members.
Merchan ordered Trump to refrain from making public statements about witnesses and jurors in the Stormy Daniels case. Alvin Bragg accused Trump of violating the gag order when he criticized Merchan’s daughter even though she was not a witness or juror.
The judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is a far-left political operative who worked for the Biden-Harris campaign.
Loren Merchan’s company, Authentic Campaigns, Inc., has received tens of millions of dollars from Democrats who want to take down Trump.
According to the New York Post, Loren Merchan helped Democrats raise $93 million from her father’s case.
President Trump is still allowed to disparage Judge Merchan and Alvin Bragg.
Trump lashed out at Judge Merchan on Tuesday morning.
“This Trump-hating conflicted judge won’t let me respond to people on TV who lie and spew hate all day. He is trampling on my lawyers and my legal team. New York’s “justice” system is being decimated by critics around the world. I want to talk, or at least be able to respond. Election interference! RIGGED AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL TRIAL! Lift the gag order!!!” Trump said this in a post on Truth Social Tuesday morning.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg filed a motion Tuesday to hold Trump in contempt for violating the judge’s gag order.
Judge Merchan will hold a hearing on the contempt order on April 23.
